Key Takeaways
1. Ayaneo plans to launch its first Android gaming tablet, the Ayaneo Gaming Pad, which has been delayed from its initial May release.
2. The tablet features a transparent design and will be available in black and white, but its bulkier size is due to a cooling fan and unspecified battery capacity.
3. The prototype shown has a different rear camera setup compared to earlier designs, indicating potential changes before the final product is released.
4. Functional elements include a curved metal frame with controls, a headphone jack, USB-C port, and an indicator LED for charging status, along with a separate telescopic game controller.
5. The confirmed specifications include an 8.3-inch IPS display with 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 processor, but a new launch date has yet to be announced.
After establishing a reputation in the Android gaming handheld market, Ayaneo revealed in March its plan to launch its first Android gaming tablet in May. The device, named the Ayaneo Gaming Pad, has delayed its release by a few months but was highlighted again in a livestream during the 2025-2026 strategy session where key accessories were also presented.
Prototype Reveal
During the livestream, a functional prototype of the Ayaneo Gaming Pad was displayed. As previously noted, this tablet features a transparent design and will come in both black and white color choices.
Design Features
This device seems bulkier compared to other compact gaming tablets like the RedMagic Astra. However, its thickness is likely due to the cooling fan, the large cooling vent located on one side, and a battery with a capacity that has not yet been specified.
A noteworthy detail is that the prototype shown in the livestream features a different rear camera setup. Instead of the dual rear cameras and LED flash shown in earlier renders from March, this prototype has a single rear camera that sticks out a bit and lacks the LED flash. It’s unclear whether this prototype represents the final design or if the Ayaneo Gaming Pad will keep the originally revealed look.
Functional Elements
The Ayaneo Gaming Pad boasts a curved metal frame that contains the power button, volume control, air vent, and an unidentified button on the right side; a headphone jack is positioned on the left. A USB-C port is located at the bottom, accompanied by two slits likely intended for speakers. Additionally, Ayaneo has included an indicator LED on the back lower part of the tablet that lights up while the device is charging.
Alongside the tablet, Ayaneo presented a telescopic game controller designed for it. This controller, which will come in yellow and black, connects to the tablet through USB-C, similar to the Razer Kishi V3 Pro Gaming Controller (priced at $148.49 on Amazon). It features asymmetric joysticks with ring lights, ABXY action buttons arranged in an Xbox layout, two extra shoulder buttons, two back buttons, and switches to modify the triggers. Ayaneo mentioned that the controller will be sold separately.
Uncertain Release Date
Although the tablet is now two months past its planned release date, Ayaneo has not provided a new launch date, only stating that it “will be officially unveiled soon.” Nonetheless, some specifications have been confirmed, including an 8.3-inch IPS display with a 2K (2266 x 1488) resolution, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It will also feature a Qualcomm processor, which was earlier reported to be the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3.
